    (Thanks to the book friend Emperor¡¯s father, Qian Mo Hanyun, for the reward!)

    Cavite Province, the seat of the government of the First Republic of the Philippines, Terese Martires City.  It is less than 40 kilometers away from Manila.  Emilio?  Mario, President Aquino's special envoy, only fled back here from Manila on May 5.  In the simple presidential palace, Aquino received the ragged envoy.

    "Mario, how did you end up like this?" Aquino asked with a frown.  He was born into an official family and attached great importance to etiquette.

    "Your Excellency, the Chinese were cruel to us. They defeated the Spanish, but it was not a good result for us Filipinos. The Chinese were far more cruel than the Spanish!" Mario replied.

    "What happened? When you went to meet the Chinese, what did their commanders say?" Aquino asked.

    "Your Excellency, the Chinese refuse to leave the Philippines and say that if we want to invade, we must drive them away," Mario said.

    "This has been expected by me. The Chinese defeated the Americans last year, and they have also begun to expand outward. The Philippines is so close to China, they will not let me go. By the way, why are you coming back now?  ? Are you still in such a mess?" Aquino asked.

    "Your Excellency, when the Chinese general rejected our request, Kanu didn't give up. He planned a riot by his compatriots in Manila and wanted to attack the Chinese. As a result, he was brutally suppressed by the Chinese. The sound of gunfire  One night, at the height of the intensity, the Chinese even used warship guns to bombard the slums in the south of Manila. Our compatriots suffered heavy casualties. The Chinese blocked Manila, and I know we only found a chance to get it back this morning. We  The compatriots in Manila were massacred by the Chinese. Most of the young and middle-aged people were killed. The whole of Manila is filled with blood!" Mario said with red eyes.  That night, if he hadn't run fast and had good luck.  I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago.

    "What? The Chinese are so cruel. They actually attack unarmed Filipinos. We must not let these executioners go!" Aquino said angrily.  He has long forgotten that he is also of Chinese descent.  However, he has forgotten his roots and has long regarded himself as a pure Filipino.  (It seems that the current president is a guy named Aquino III. His mother¡¯s ancestral home is Longyan, Fujian. She is the first female president of the Philippines. They are all a bunch of white-eyed wolves!)

    "Yes, Your Excellency, President. We need to fight back. We must drive all these Chinese people away from the Philippines and make them pay with blood!" Mario said.

    Aquino nodded, and then asked people to convene the top leaders of the First Republic of the Philippines to discuss countermeasures.  At the meeting, Aquino announced the tragedy in Manila. These Filipino indigenous people became passionate and demanded war against the Chinese to avenge their dead compatriots.

    The First Republic of the Philippines was the most powerful among the many resistance forces in the Philippines. Its main ruling area was the fertile area south of Calabazon District.  With an army of more than 50,000 people, it has achieved major victories in previous battles against Spanish colonists.  Of course, their equipment is completely rubbish to the Chinese army.

    "We have driven away the Spaniards through our disdainful efforts, but these Chinese are even more evil wolves. We will continue to fight until we drive them all away and establish a free Republic of the Philippines!" Aquino solemnly told  The Filipino natives promised.

    Subsequently, the first republic of the Philippines immediately took action. They actively contacted the Katipunan organization, Prahan believers, Moro and Sulu Sultanate, asking them to send troops together to attack Manila and replace these Filipino colonists.  All the Chinese people were driven away.  Aquino has high prestige in the Philippines, and his appeal has been endorsed by several major forces.  The Katipunan organization and Prahan followers sent elite forces to Cavite to prepare to unite with the First Republic of the Philippines.  The Moros and Sulu Sultanate are located in the southern Philippines, but they also sent a large number of elite troops to come, but because the distance was longer, it took more time.

    The Moros are Muslim ethnic groups in Mindanao, Palawan Province, the Sulu Islands and Borneo in the southern Philippines, covering the Sulu, Samar, Maguindanao, Maranao, Yakan, Sangir  People, Tausugs, Bachos, Palawans, etc. are mixed descendants of Arabs, Malays, and local indigenous people, accounting for about 5% to 10% of the population of the Philippines.  After the Spanish invasion in the 16th century, the Spanish discovered that the appearance, culture, and customs of the local people were very similar to the Muslim residents of Andalusia in southern Spain from the 8th to the 15th century AD, so they called them Moors, and later became the Moros.  The Spanish promoted Catholicism in the Philippines and Muslims were killed.  period,There had been Muslim revolts in Manila led by Suleiman and Lacandula, but they all ended in failure.  The Spanish colonists vigorously pursued the policy of eradicating the original civilization in the occupied areas and destroyed a large number of Muslim cultural relics. There were many mosques in Manila's history, but they disappeared after the Spanish arrived.  This also inspired the Moros to resist and launch a protracted war against the Spanish colonists.

    The Sulu Sultanate, the full name of the Sulu Peace House Islamic Sultanate, is an Islamic sultanate established by the Sulu people in 1457. Its borders are located in the Sulu Islands at the western end of the Muslim Mindanao Autonomous Region in the south of the Philippines today, as well as Basilan Province.  , Tawi-Tawi Province, Palawan Island, northern Borneo and other islands around the Sulu Sea currently belong to the Basilan Province of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao and the Palawan Province of Mimaropa District respectively.  The Sulu Sultanate had trade relations with the Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, Malaysia and Indonesia.  The capital is located in Hele.  In 1761, Alexander?, an official of the British East India Company?  Dalrymple concluded an agreement with the Sultan of Sulu that allowed him to establish a trading post on Pulau Balambangan Island, but the plan failed in November 1805 and the island was abandoned.  In 1846, the Sultan of Brunei ceded Labuan Island on the west coast of Sabah to the British, and it became a British Crown Colony in 1848.  After a series of transfers, the rights to North Borneo passed to Alfred?  Dent, who founded the British North Borneo Provisional Association Ltd. in 1881.  In 1882, the British North Borneo Company was established with Kudat as its headquarters.  In 1883 the headquarters moved to Sandakan.  In 1885, Britain, Spain and Germany signed the Madrid Protocol of 1885, which recognized Spain's sovereignty over the Sulu Islands in exchange for Spain giving up its claim to North Borneo.  After the Spaniards gained sovereignty over the Sulu Islands, they launched a barbaric invasion of the Sulu Sultanate, and a war broke out between the Sulu Sultanate and the Spanish colonists, which dealt a heavy blow to the Spanish colonists.

    The coalition, composed of the First Republic of the Philippines, the Katipunan Organization, the Prahan followers, the Moros and the Sulu Sultanate, numbered more than 100,000 people.  However, it took them a full month to gather these troops.  During this period, Major General Zhou Shu, the Governor-General of the Philippines appointed by China, had arrived in Manila with the 24th Division and the 31st Division. Together with the 5th, 8th and 9th Marine Brigades, China  The number of troops in the Philippines has exceeded 60,000.  Moreover, through the local Chinese, a large amount of information about the Philippine resistance forces was collected.  A security team of 10,000 people recruited from Manila and nearby areas has also been formed and training has begun.  Although the combat effectiveness is still relatively poor, there is still no problem in defending Manila.  This made the Philippine Governor-General Major General Zhou Shu begin to consider the next step in colonizing the Philippines.  That is to eliminate these Philippine resistance organizations.  If these resistance organizations are not wiped out, China's colonial rule of the Philippines will be seriously affected.  In the end, it is very likely that like the Philippines, it will only be able to control the Manila area.  Such a situation is absolutely not allowed to occur.

    In the original Spanish Governor¡¯s Palace, Major General Zhou Shu had moved in after taking office, turning it into the center of Chinese rule in the Philippines.  The original Spaniards began to return to Spain by boat.  The Spanish government knew that it was hopeless to regain the Philippines, so it simply transferred the Philippines to China.  And China also paid a price of one million pounds for this.

    "Everyone, based on our investigations these days, we have basically figured out the situation of the resistance forces in the Philippines. Now, Emilio Aquino, the president of the first republic of the Philippines, is convening the armies of the resistance forces in Cavite. As of now  , they have almost gathered 100,000 people. As long as we can get rid of these 100,000 people, we can injure the resistance forces! I plan to start taking action in three days. The 24th Division, the 3rd  The 11th Division and three Marine Corps brigades were all dispatched to wipe out these Filipino natives in one fell swoop. As for the defense of Manila, the security team is temporarily responsible. Captain Tang, do you have any questions?" Zhou Shu asked.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, sir, I will keep Manila safe even though I¡¯m humble!¡± The captain of the security team is Tang Long, the second son of the president of the Manila Business Association, a young man in his thirties.  The security team is equipped with weapons that have been replaced by the Chinese Army, but they are considered well-equipped.

    "Very good, then Manila will be left to you. In addition, we will have a guide from the security team who is familiar with the terrain of the southern Philippines. This time, we will completely deal with these Filipino natives!" Zhou Shu said.

    "Yes, Lord Governor!" Tang Long nodded.  Among the Chinese, there are many who are familiar with the terrain of the Philippines, and such guides are very easy to find.

    On June 5, 1898, a large-scale suppression force composed of the 24th Division, the 31st Division of the Chinese Army, and the 5th, 8th and 9th Brigades of the Marine Corps left Manila and marched toward the First Republic of the Philippines.  Where Cavite pounced.  The naval fleet has also set off to provide them with artillery support.
